Help with Rotations

Post by Zach1812 »

Hello all,

First time post, first time MapTooler. I've been working with it for a couple of days and watched a ton of tutorials but have not been able to work out my problem. I'm running a Mac 10.9 Macbook Pro 15in with 8GB of Ram and running MapTools 1.3.b89. My problem is I have no idea how to rotate any of my objects. Perhaps it's pretty simple and I'm missing it but I can't figure it out. I do know how to set the facing on things but I'd like more control over angles than that it it's available.

Please help.
Chris

p.s. I looked into what forum area to post this and wasn't able to find a Help section. Usually it should be under MapTool, but it says not to post help questions there. So...

Under token properties, make sure token shape under config tab is top down. You can then use the shift-mousescroll to roatate or shift-ctrl-mousescroll to rotate with more detail. If you drop tokens on to object or background layer I think the token type default to top-down but if you drop on token layer it will depend on shape of token.
